Best Fictional Character Car Spokesperson

...I came across a VW GTI ad with a different but equally humorous theme. It was on one of the Spanish language channels, and featured an old WB Speedy Gonzales cartoon.

Speedy is stealing cheese from a factory or something. You see him walk behind a rock, and then just a blur moving into the factory and back again...he then emerges from behind a rock carrying an arm-load of cheese.

Then the cartoon stops and rewinds, and goes into slow-motion. After he goes behind the rock, the previous blur is shown to be Speedy driving a VW GTI into the building and out again, filled with cheese.

...that Ford hasn't tried to get Keifer Sutherland as Jack Bauer to pitch Expeditions or Explorers (the preferred vehicles of the Counter Terrorism Unit on "24"). They already have heavy product placement on the show. But only for the good guys...the terrorists all seem to drive foreign makes.

"Whether you're hauling hyperactive kids to soccer practice or transporting an unstable nerve gas canister to a secured area, the Ford Expedition has the space and uncompromising ride you need!"
